Not how I thought it would taste at all. I ate it cause I was hungry but it tastes like prison food

Buyer Beware!
Should be no stars! The plastic is literally impossible to take off. And after struggling with it when you finally get to the pasta you regret the effort put in to open this pack! Dry, unseasoned, flavorless, little to no sauce, hardened chicken bits, tough ol' pasta bits - how did they mess this up this bad and have the audacity to charge ~$9 for this! Disappointed with Target and wish I could get my $ back.

Plastic Wrap Will Not Come Off Easily or Completely
I like the food but it is a nightmare trying to get the plastic seal wrap off. And even after trying all four corners, it splits in half nor fully coming off. The outside plastic will not come off. I've had this happen 3 times, and I might quit buying this after the trouble. It's too expensive for them to cheap out on easily openable plastic.

Flavorless Pasta and Bad Chicken
It was shocking how bad this was. The pasta was soggy and flavorless which was surprising based on how much sauce it came in. The chicken was awful - I threw it away and mixed in leftover chicken from home. For $9 you’re better off skipping this brand and buying one of the Kevin’s meals which are so much better.

Bland and Dry
Very bland and chicken is dry. This has such great potential and it actually has some good macros but flavor-wise and freshness is lacking a lot.

This left me angry. 0 Stars.
How dare they charge money for this? It's edible and has calories, but that's where the worth ends. As other reviewers note, the pasta was dry and flavorless. I have to say the chicken was dry, too, in my opinion. It was indeed hard to open. Four minutes in the microwave as preparation should have clued me into this being no better than last week's reheated pasta leftovers, but I guess you can say at least I didn't waste much time on this. Nine dollars for this 2-person serving of pasta is absurd.

Maybe its just me
I was looking forward to trying this. I’m glad now I only bought 1. It seemed dry & a little bitter to me. It’s a great idea, but the execution needs a lot of help.

Pesto pasta
I actually liked it! The flavor was mild, you could taste the pesto which is what I think the focus was about rather than over-powering it or seasoning it. My pasta wasn’t overcooked either!

Not Edible
This was a huge disappointment. Overcooked pasta (mushy and textureless) and the chicken tasted like metal. It wasn’t edible. For $9.00 I expected it to at least be edible. I wish I could return it from the trash can for a refund.

It’s ok in a pinch but overall it’s really lacking flavor/seasoning. It’s also pretty oily. Not the greatest but also fine for a quick meal
